Conjunctive combination of belief functions from dependent sources using positive and negative weight functions
作者：
Highlights：
• We propose a rule to conjunctively combine belief functions from dependent sources.
• We decompose a belief function using positive and negative weight functions.
• A partial ordering is constructed using positive and negative weight functions.
• Committed relation between belief functions is determined using the partial ordering.
• The proposed rule is used to solve a performance assessment problem.
